Sorry for the crappy pictures. These were taken about 25 years ago way before I got into photography. At the time I was in the Air Force and I had access to the flightline. I think this was part of an air show.

I think I would concur, but I did initially think F100 for the second one. On a second look I noticed the tip of the nose was white.

It had to have been a show because we only had KC-135, B-52 and a few F-16.

I enjoyed watching the 106's fly while stationed at Griffiss AFB for KC-135A tech school back in the early 80's. Very unique aircraft...
